A system and method for predictive abnormal behavior detection is disclosed. The system receives surveillance data such as video data and can create and update a plurality of prediction models. The system may also receive video data relating to a moving object and may generate a prediction of the future locations of the moving object based on the generated prediction models. The predicted motion may be scored by a scoring engine to determine if the predicted motion is unsafe or otherwise undesirable.

Predicting a future location of a moving object observed by a surveillance device

A surveillance system implements an architecture and process to support real-time abnormal behavior assessment operations in a distributed scalable sensor network. An automated behavior model builder generates behavior models from sensor data. A plurality of abnormal behavior scoring engines operating concurrently to generate abnormal behavior assessment models by scoring the behavior models. An execution performance manager performs fast switching of behavior models for the abnormal behavior scoring engines. The execution performance manager performs detection of abnormal behavior score distribution characteristic deviation by comparing a current abnormal behavior assessment model to a pre-recorded abnormal behavior assessment model. The execution performance manager selects a pre-recorded behavior model for the abnormal behavior scoring engines when the deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold.

System architecture and process for seamless adaptation to context aware behavior models

A surveillance system generally includes a data capture module that collects sensor data. A scoring engine module receives the sensor data and computes at least one of an abnormality score and a normalcy score based on the sensor data, at least one dynamically loaded learned data model, and a learned scoring method. A decision making module receives the at least one of the abnormality score and the normalcy score and generates an alert message based on the at least one of the abnormality score and the normalcy score and a learned decision making method to produce progressive behavior and threat detection.

A metadata database adaptor for use with a surveillance and/or sensor system is capable of adapting metadata messages of varying formats according to needs of metadata databases. In other aspects, a metadata data model template can allow a user to define a data definition that is used to map user defined data with the metadata data model template to form XML data schema. Template mapping knowledge can then be applied for fast XML data schema to non-XML database schema generation without translation processing. In yet other aspects, an application domain template can allow a user to define a query definition that can then be processed with a mapping of the application domain template to translate Xpath, Xquery, or others to a database query.

System and method for high performance template driven metadata schema mapping and data storage for surveillance and sensor devices

A meta data management system for use with a surveillance system includes a user interface that allows users to define rules to manage meta data from distributed devices. An application programming interface provides an application access to system data and control information. A mechanism allows the application to transparently and seamlessly integrate with different types of databases by transparently allocating and searching the data that are physically distributed at different devices.

Distributed meta data management middleware

Distributed modules in a network dynamically select communication protocols to communicate in a secure or firewall-protected network. Applications register with a lookup service. The lookup service maintains a lookup table including registration information for multiple applications. Registration information may include, but is not limited to, IP address, firewall restrictions, tunnel protocol, port information, and proxy queue capabilities. An application seeking to communicate acquires the registration information for a desired recipient from the lookup table. The application uses the registration information to select communication protocols necessary to communicate with the recipient.

Method for dynamic selection for secure and firewall friendly communication protocols between multiple distributed modules

The Web customer contact system is based on distributed execution of service logic programs that can be dynamically altered based on changing business needs. The distributed and dynamic program modification makes the Web customer contact system scalable and customization to the most demanding business operation needs. For example, existing workflow based GUI programming tool, which only support centralized specification, down load and execution of routing rules for incoming calls in a contact center. The new system WCC system can allow user to specify a set of service logic program (SLP) can be dynamically attached to any distributed 'addressable entities' in the WCC system. The addressable entities can be a user, an agent, an email box, a work group, IVR system, or a department web site. The addressable entities can be located anywhere that can be reached by internet address (an URL or other types of identities). The SLP associated with the addressable entities can be dynamically downloaded from the 'home' location of the SLP. The SLP allows a business to define the way of handling customer's messages such as call, chat and email in a flexible and programmable way using an open specification interface such as, XML technology.

Web-content aware automatic call transfer system and process for mobile users and operators

A system and method provides protocol independent communication between mobile electronic devices. Multiple users may communicate using different applications running on different mobile electronic devices with different end-to-end protocols. A multimedia controller in connection with control agents provides the information to establish communications between mobile electronic devices having applications with incompatible communication protocols. A session and routing controller controls communication sessions and a Web hyperlink dictionary provides information regarding the location of the multimedia controller and control agents.

Protocol independent communication system for mobile devices

An agent-based telephony system is provided for establishing a call between two or more telephony devices interconnected through an automated call dispatch server. The automated call dispatch server includes a call control agent for processing call requests; a call resource management agent in communication with the call control agent for allocating and controlling the resources needed to establish a call between telephony devices; and a resource control agent in communication with the call resource management agent for providing a hardware-dependent interface to the telephony devices.
